Other Bag Size Considerations
Finding the right sized bag can be a bit of a challenge. We’ve broken down the formula, so you order the correct size material every time! Sizing them up, down and every which way. Here are four simple formulas to ensure you get the right fit.
Square Container to Gusseted Bag
2. To determine the Width (W) of the bag, add ‘1’ to the width of the box.
3. To determine the Depth (D) of the bag, add ‘1’ to the depth of the box.
4. The Length (L) of the bag is determined by adding the depth to the height of the box plus ‘6’ toallow coverage of the box contents.
If the box size is 20″(wide) x 14″(deep) x 16″(high), the bag dimensions are as follows: Width(W) is 21″ Depth (D) is 15″ Length (L) is 36″
Pallet Cover to Gusseted Bag
2. To determine the Width (W) of the cover, add ‘1’ to ‘2’ to the width of the pallet.
3. To determine the Depth (D) of the cover, add ‘1’ to ‘2’ to the depth of the pallet.
4. The Length (L) of the cover is determined by adding 1/2 the depth to the height.
If the pallet size is 30″(wide) x 26″(deep) x 40″(high), the cover dimensions are as follows: Width(W) is 32″ Depth (D) is 28″ Length (L) is 53″
Rounded Container to Layflat Bag
2. To determine the Circumference (C) of the container, multiply the diameter by 3.14.
3. To determine the Width (W) of the bag, divide the Circumference (C) by 2. Add ‘1’ for a looserfit.
4. To determine the Length (L) of the bag, add the diameter to the height. Add ‘5’ for overhang.
If the container size is 14″(diameter) x 32″(height), the bag dimensions are as follows:Width (W) is 23″ Length (L) is 51″
Square Container to Layflat Bag
2. To determine the Width (W) of the bag, add the width and depth. For relaxed fit, add ‘2’ The Length (L) of the bag is determined by adding the depth to the height of the box plus ‘6’ toallow coverage of the box contents.
If the container size is 12″(wide) x 8″(deep) x 30″(high), the bag dimensions are as follows:Width (W) is 22″ Length (L) is 44″
